anti-cGMP Antibody

cGMP

Cyclic GMP , Cyclic guanosine monophosphate

Cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) serves as a second messenger in a manner similar to that observed with cAMP. Peptide hormones, such as the natriuretic factors, activate receptors that are associated with membrane-bound guanylate cyclase (GC). Receptor activation of GC leads to the conversion of GTP to cGMP. Nitric oxide (NO) also stimulates cGMP production by activating soluble GC, perhaps by binding to the heme moiety of the enzyme. Similar to cAMP, cGMP mediates most of its intracellular effects through the activation of specific cGMP dependent protein kinases (PKG).

Rabbit

Polyclonal

Rabbit IgG

All species

2'O-succinyl guanosine-3',5' cyclic monophosphate

0.5 mg/ml

Liquid

100 µl succinylated cGMP affinity purified rabbit IgG in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) containing 50% glycerol, 1% BSA, and 0.02% thimerosal.

Affinity purified

ELISA

1:10-50 dilutions for nonradioactive EIA assays (10 µl/assay in an 70 µl assay reaction). The material is sufficient for performing 100-500 nonradioactive EIA assays or 6,000 radioactive assays. Detect 0.1-10 pmol/assay in a 70 µl assay reaction using nonradioactive method.

Shelf time: 12 months in temp.: -20 deg.C

gel pack

The antibody solution should be gently mixed before use.

This antibody needs to be stored at + 4°C in a fridge short term in a concentrated dilution. Freeze thaw will destroy a percentage in every cycle and should be avoided.

If you buy Antibodies supplied by Biovision they should be stored frozen at - 24°C for long term storage and for short term at + 5°C.
